Chapter 1120: Chapter 749: Slaying Mid Ascension Dao (Part 2)
Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong both felt their hearts tighten, because they didn’t know the situation. Wu Kexi then shouted in a deep voice, once again gathering the Divine Soil Merciful Hand, ready to strike several more times at that darkness.
But the speed of Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo was incredibly fast. Wu Qiuhong and Wu Yumen were completely unable to resist, and no one came to their rescue. Before they could gather their Spiritual Power, the attack of Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo had already landed on their souls!
Boom! Boom!
The souls of Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong were torn apart, and subsequently taken away!
Two mid-junior ascension realm domain-level elders of the Dao Palace, dead!
——
Whoosh! Whoosh!
After killing the two domain-level elders, Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo used the darkness for camouflage, turned their bodies, and flew toward their respective positions, accurately colliding in midair.
"Let’s go!"
Xiang Beifei grabbed Li Qianluo’s hand and swiftly headed upward!
At this time, the Divine Soil Merciful Hand had already descended, but because Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo bore the marks of the Dao Palace, the powerful hand was nullified against them, and they left it behind.
As for the so-called Formation, it posed no resistance. They exited the same way they entered, disappearing into the void while Wu Kexi was still reacting.
The darkness disappeared again, daylight returned.
Everything returned to calm.
But when Wu Kexi looked at Jingxi City, he was completely stupefied!
At this moment, the entire city was in ruins, shattered into various pieces of breath soil sand. All buildings were destroyed, and many cultivators were hiding in corners like frightened, innocent little birds, trembling.
The confrontation between the two ascension realm auras had truly terrified them!
The ascension realm, something they rarely encountered, and unexpectedly, two suddenly appeared and were fighting, their terrifying power almost scared them out of their wits!
"Where are Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong?"
Wu Kexi’s Divine Sense swiftly searched throughout the entire city.
Yet despite searching for a long time, he was horrified to find that it seemed the whole city had only three Inquiring Dao masters left, while the rest of the Dao Palace masters were missing, as if they had vanished into thin air.
This included two domain-level elders and the human boy!

Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo continued flying thousands of miles in the void before they stopped. They were far enough from Jingxi City, no longer needing to worry.
"Haha! Divine Soil Merciful Hand, they schemed for so long, but didn’t expect to be counter-schemed by us!"
Li Qianluo laughed so hard her eyes became mere slits.
Xiang Beifei also breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he was very cautious facing three ascension realm masters, but luckily they were in the dark, Dao Palace was in the light, and they smoothly rescued Chu Xi.
Xiaohei, hands on hips, looked at the barely conscious Chu Xi, and said, "This unlucky kid, running around disobediently, will get his butt smacked later."
Xiang Beifei carefully checked the condition of Chu Xi, who still had various Dao Palace-marked Formations all over him, even the blood was filled with paralytic toxins, and had been inscribed with Dao Palace formations.
Just as he injected Spiritual Power into Chu Xi, Chu Xi suddenly let out a painful wail, his body uncontrollably convulsing, his blood being drawn out, those formations immediately activated, coalescing into a murderous assault aimed at Xiang Beifei!
"Truly ruthless, to place such formations on a ten-year-old child."
Fortunately, Xiang Beifei was prepared, he instantly struck out a brick, hitting Chu Xi, causing golden formation patterns to surge, suppressing the toxic formations within Chu Xi.
Li Qianluo touched Chu Xi’s forehead, and said, "He looks like he has been through a lot of suffering, truly heart-wrenching!"
"Huh?" Xiang Beifei suddenly looked at Li Qianluo in surprise.
"What’s wrong? Are you not going to save him?" Li Qianluo urged.
Xiang Beifei felt puzzled.
The golden formation patterns from the Five Pieces of Stone were extremely peculiar. Though someone with greater power than Xiang Beifei could break free from its restraints, like how Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong could resist them, the golden patterns would still attempt to attach to them.
But at this moment, Chu Xi was covered in golden patterns, yet as Li Qianluo held Chu Xi’s forehead, none attempted to crawl onto her.
"You’re not afraid of these golden patterns?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Oh, you mean these? I’m not afraid." Li Qianluo chuckled as she knocked the greyish brick, acting unaffected.
Xiaohei also found it strange, "But last time at Bone Mountain Desert Stone Cave, you seemed very wary?"
"That’s because—last time when I went playing, I made a Daosheath with Shen Li myself!" Li Qianluo blinked, speaking with a mischievous tone.
Xiang Beifei thoughtfully glanced at Li Qianluo, but did not say more, and began using "Return to the Original State" to rescue Chu Xi.
He slowly cut down all the trap formations placed inside Chu Xi by the Dao Palace. The more he reverted, the heavier his mood became.
Because Chu Xi had been left with various sinister trap formations, some even included self-destructive methods, meaning Chu Xi was essentially a bomb!
According to the power of the formations, they were enough to threaten an Inquiring Dao master!
Had Xiang Beifei not possessed the Five Pieces of Stone, it might have been impossible to suppress this self-destructive capability!
"Chu Xi has suffered too much, his life is in grave danger, we might need to halt for a few days."
Xiang Beifei did not rush back, because Chu Xi’s life couldn’t wait, he had to heal him quickly and stabilize those injuries.
The Dao Palace’s methods were too vicious, even though Xiang Beifei had Return to the Original State, it would still take considerable time.
"As long as he survives." Li Qianluo said.
"By the way, while I’m healing, you and Xiaohei have some tasks to undertake." Xiang Beifei said.
"Sure! What task?" Li Qianluo eagerly asked.

The affair in Jingxi City left Dao Palace utterly furious!
This time they dispatched three ascension realm masters, nearly ten Inquiring Dao masters, dozens of Immortal Realm masters, all to guard a human boy, intending to capture the rescuing human masters entirely.
Unexpectedly, they themselves suffered heavy losses!
All the Immortal Realm masters vanished into thin air, and most important of all, Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong were killed!
This event was quite a sensation for the Dao Palace!
But over the next two days, several news spread almost everywhere with cultivators in Edge Corner Airspace.
"The mystery of Dao Stone upgrades again, allegedly an expert from the Ancestral Dao Realm!"
"Two Dao Palace ascension realm masters fought over the fourth Dao Stone, causing internal conflict, battling in Jingxi City, destroying the entire city!"
"Two Dao Palace ascension realm elders fought internally, killed each other, and ultimately chose mutual destruction!"
...
No one knew who spread these messages, but Dao Palace ascension realm masters broke the rules for the Dao Stone, fiercely battled within the city, killed each other, causing numerous casualties, leaving many races shocked!
"Dao Palace set all kinds of rules for us, and yet they led by example in breaking them?"
"Damn it! Why should we still follow their rules?"
No one ever thought that the elder representing Dao Palace’s authority would commit such conduct. Usually, they were extremely cautious, afraid of being reckless within cities, yet Dao Palace itself had such incidents, causing much dissatisfaction among various races.
Dao Palace higher-ups were even more furious hearing these words!
"Who’s spreading these rumors!"
The Dao Palace leadership was extremely angry. Originally, they had lost many masters, let mysterious masters rescue them, and yet the opponent gained the high ground in propaganda, spreading rumors everywhere, causing them to suffer without being able to retaliate!
They wanted to suppress this news but failed. No one knew why these rumors seemed to have wings and had spread everywhere, even rooting deeply in everyone’s minds.
And at this moment, the fifth Dao Stone appeared!
This time, the appearance of the Dao Stone caused unprecedented shock!
Because it has now been confirmed, the Dao Stone, was left by experts from the Ancestral Dao Realm!
